Following a short period of revision, a range of printed material in German was available to read in our 12th lesson- books, magazines and newsprint. With the assistance of a dictionary (for our vocabulary is necessarily limited for such a short space of time), people were able to understand the content of the articles. I hope they were pleased. I know I was impressed. We even learnt some new words in the process.
Our last lesson produced moments of hilarity as we took on short role plays. Scenarios included haggling at the market place, buying theatre tickets and diarrhoea.
Although there are no lessons over winter, students have been given plenty of ideas as to how their German can be progressed by their own endeavour.
At the time of writing, half the surveys have already been returned. I would like to thank you for your considered responses. It is clear that there is sufficient interest, (dare I say enthusiasm?), for an advanced group to be run in the Spring. Those that are interested/curious are invited to come to a planning session on Monday, 15th July at 11.00am in the library.
